Re: [CnD] Conversion Tables
Thanks for all the infro, it's very helpful. I'm just learning how to cook, so excuse my ignorance. Can I use the temperature guide for when a recipe says, for example, 1 cup of milk at 110deegrees? -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Pamela Fairchild via Cookinginthedark Sent: 22 February 2020 15:46 To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: pamelafairch...@comcast.net Subject: Re: [CnD] Conversion Tables This answers your first question, but you have to search through the document to find your answer.

Re: [CnD] Conversion Tables
1 American stick of butter equals 4 ounces, or about 115 grams. It also makes 1/2 cup of butter. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Bridget Micallef via Cookinginthedark Sent: Saturday, February 22, 2020 3:21 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Bridget Micallef Subject: [CnD] Conversion Tables Hi I have two questions.
